Zed School

We’ve been here at Building Number 17 on Edgaha Road for a while now. If you know where the Police Choki is in Chambal Vikas, then you know exactly where we are. Kota is a busy place for students, but our little corner is where we spend our days. The school isn’t some big flashy building. It’s a place where we try to keep things running smoothly every day. In the mornings, you’ll see the kids arriving, some walking and some coming on cycles from the nearby streets. It gets quite hot here in Rajasthan during the summer months, so we all try to stay in the shade of the building when we can. The rooms are simple, just desks and boards where the teaching happens. We don't have fancy decorations, just the work the kids have done pinned up on the walls. It feels like a second home to those of us who work here. Sometimes the traffic on the road gets a bit loud, especially with the police station so close by, but we’re used to it. We just focus on what’s happening in the classrooms. Most of the families around here know us by name. It’s just a regular part of life in this neighborhood. We open up early, sweep the floors, and get ready for the day before the sun gets too high. It’s honest work, and we’re glad to be a part of the local community here.
